Tropic finishes his scroll and walks to Lily's cave and looks in. " You want to be alone for a bit?" he asks.

"I..." Lily shakes her head no "This is your room too u know..."

"I know" He walks in slowly and sits down. " Do you want to know what happened to my mom and sister?"

"Yeah, If you're okay with it." She slowly stops crying. "And your dad."

"Well, my dad, he hated me. He was always mean to me and made me work all day. He also was mean to the rest of my family. And one day, I had had enough. He was pushing my sister around, so I came up behind him and whacked him with my tail. He turned around immediately and slashed at me, leaving the scar. Then me, my sister and my mom left our hut and went to the Rainforest. But before we got there, a group of Sandwings came up to us and took my mom. Me and my sister got separated in a huge sandstorm. I hope every day I'll see them again, but... I.. I have doubts."

Lily stares at Tropic like he's crazy "whoa, I'm sorry...." Looks out the window. "I've never had doubts, I never think that....that they'll take me back...."

"I have doubts I'll ever see them again, I got you and my friends though" Tropic looks around the room. "That's at least one good thing."

"Yeah, you're lucky....." Lily sighs and puts her head down. "You do have me as a friend, I've got you."

"Thank Pyhrria " lays down in the hammock.

Lily looks up and stares at Tropic. "What is it? that you have the greatest friends ever? *ahem* me" smiles.

"That's actually true, you are the greatest friend I've ever had, one of my few friends ever." His scales turn a light shade of pink and turns back to it's mudwing colored scales.

"Really?" Her eyes open wide. "I...I didn't know." Lily's scales turn bright pink.

"Well now ya do" he smiles " you've treated me like no other dragon has" Tropic returns her stare. "Ever."

Lily turns an even brighter pink "wow, well i guess that is true." she smiles slightly.

Tropic had a piece of wood in his talons. "want me to carve you something?"

"Why not?" she thinks for awhile "why not carve us together?" smiles at Tropic. "please"

Tropic looks at the wood thinking about how to do it. "Sure" Smiles and starts carving out 2 figures on the wood.

"Yeah...." Lily falls asleep on the ledge
